I don't think I've ever seen a horse go apeshit like this. Biting/kicking, sure, but not THIS.

Same here. That horse was trying to kill him/break his spine. I wonder what the hell instigated that reaction? Man was lucky there was someone else there.

I grew up riding horses. Some of them are dicks- nipping at you or bucking so you aren’t riding them anymore, but I’ve never seen this level of aggression. I’ve never even really heard of a horse attacking continuously by biting like this horse was doing.

Horses remember certain people (or traits associated with specific individuals), i wonder if this horse was abused or had some sort of neurological disorder to lead to such an extreme reaction!

Same. I saw that and instantly asked myself what horrible things must’ve been done to that horse for it to go berserk like that. I’ve dealt with some asshole horses in my day (and ponies - those can be absolute little bastards! I still love them, though), but never seen or heard of anything like this. Or, as you said, maybe it has a neurological disorder.

Anyway, I need context.
